in the cafe at dinner. Mr. Wall called him
aside, and hastily told him that he was go

Mr.. Williams to be his best man. Mr.. Will

was closed Here was dilemma Some
one around the building suggested
that if the parties were in hurry
they might hunt up the marriage clerk at
his home, on Caroline street, and perhaps
he could be persuaded to return TO the court
and issue the license. Acting on the sug-
geStion, the party drove over to Caroline
street, saw the clerk, returned with Linn to
the court and the license was issued.
